<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">The <a href="http://russianwomenblog.hotrussianbrides.com/post/Israel-to-Introduce-Visa-Free-Travel-for-Ukrainians-by-September.aspx">proposed cancelation of Visas between Israel and Ukraine</a> was seen as a great step forward for both countries and an exciting opportunity not only for the thousands of Ukrainians and Israelis who have family in either country, but also for the many gentlemen in Israel who are interested in finding and meeting a <a href="http://russianwomenblog.hotrussianbrides.com/post/Girls-of-Summer-Maidens-of-Mariupol.aspx">Ukrainian bride</a>.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">Israel has previously set up a visa-free program between itself and Russia, so <a href="http://russianwomenblog.hotrussianbrides.com/post/5-Single-Russian-Ladies-that-Caught-Our-Eye.aspx">Russian ladies</a> and <a href="http://russianwomenblog.hotrussianbrides.com/post/The-ties-that-bind-Russian-Women-Israeli-Men.aspx">Israeli men</a> have been able to travel to each others&rsquo; countries visa-free for around a year now, but so far Ukraine has not enjoyed this same ability. As of Wednesday though, this has changed.</p>

Ukraine is only the second party to have this status with Israel.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>And, Jewish or not, Russian and Ukrainian women are drawn to the acceptance and hospitality of&nbsp;Israel and its importance to&nbsp;adherents of&nbsp;major world religions.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Because of&nbsp;unrest, immigration to Israel has fallen to a 20-year low. So Israel, which has always relied on immigration to boost population, is streamlining the immigration process.&nbsp; That's a big leap forward, but it's still not an easy process in today's turmoil.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Russian Jews</h3>
<p>Russia used to have the highest Jewish population in Europe, but self-identified Jews only make up less than one percent of the population. Many more, however, are Jewish ethnically but live a secular life. Recent immigrants from the former Soviet Union now make up nearly one-sixth of the Israeli population, and most Russian Jews have relatives in Israel.</p>
<p>That's a major advantage if you are Jewish or your mother or grandmother is. It allows you to emigrate under aliyah.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Immigration of Non-Jews</h3>
<p>If you are not jewish nut met an exciting israeli man, you can immigrate and become a citizen. However,&nbsp;&nbsp;Israel only recognizes Jewish marriages, and children of non-Jewish mothers are not considered Jewish, so thier full rights are curtailed. Non-Jews can become naturalized citizens in one of five ways, among them:</p>
<ul>
<li>Having been in Israel for three years</li>
<li>Intending to settle in the country</li>
<li>Having some knowledge of Hebrew</li>
<li>Taking an oath of loyalty to the State of Israel</li>
</ul>
<p>The Ministry of the Interior has much discretion in deciding who is eligible for naturalization.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>Brides born in Israel</h3>
<p>This provision grants Israeli nationality to people who were born on Israeli territory and moved away. They must meet these qualifications:</p>
<ul>
<li>Apply for Israeli citizenship between their 18th and 21st birthdays</li>
<li>Have five consecutive years of residence in Israel immediately prior to filing a request for citizenship</li>
<li>Have no criminal convictions for violation of security regulations, and no jail record for five years.</li>
</ul>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>It's easy to love Israel and what it represents. Moving there is trickier. It requires some <a href="http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090928194103AANpFDq">research.&nbsp;</a>&nbsp;<br />&nbsp;</p>
